Summary
He met his own gaze in the mirror, shone to perfection by some caretaker or another.
Looking back at him was someone completely unrecognizable from the doe-eyed, naively confident boy-turned-man he was so used to seeing. A bead of water dripped down from his nose, landing on the sink and absently he realized the last time he’d felt so tired had been Hamburg. Oh, little Paulie, if only you could see us now. You wouldn’t even have half a mind to know you oughtta be disappointed.

Summary
Paul had plenty of experience with shoving his feelings down so deep he couldn’t pull them back up. He could keep his mouth shut. He didn’t know if John could do the same. John would most likely pick and jab at him until he exploded, and then he’d look like the unreasonable one all over again.
When the Beatles reunite, Paul starts getting mixed signals from his ex-husband, John.
